Bitcoin Payments Aren't The Future, They're Here Already

coiner

Breez, in partnership with 1A1z, has released a new report investigating the use of Bitcoin as a payments system and transactional currency. Bitcoin has always been painted as digital gold, that is one of the longest running narratives at this point in terms of what Bitcoin actually is. It does capture the use as a long-term investment or speculative asset, and has been a very helpful aid in getting people over the first hump of basic understanding, but it is by no means a comprehensive explanation of what Bitcoin is.…

Bitcoin's Future Is Fractional Reserve: Unless We Do Something About It

coiner

What started as a single transaction from Satoshi to Hal Finney, has evolved into a complex system of industrial scale miners, evolving meta-protocols like the Lightning Network and Fedimint, and a full embrace of institutional investors with the record breaking inflows into various newly approved spot ETFs. Bitcoin has come a dramatically long way, and with that comes a somewhat earned sense of optimism for those who have invested their time, money, and enthusiasm. Unfortunately this optimism, and sense of “inevitability” I have previously written on, has contributed to a…

coiner

Bitcoin possesses a unique identity and qualities that are cemented on the foundation of decentralization. Almost everyone who is doing the work to understand Bitcoin will eventually run into the cold, hard fact that, at its core, Bitcoin is about freedom. To those who have enjoyed individual liberties for their entire lives, the concept of freedom may be watered down or under appreciated. For those who live without it, freedom and individual liberty become pursuits of great importance. Many people who are diving into Bitcoin will find themselves at a…

coiner

This is an opinion editorial by Rune Østgård and Alexander Ellefsen, financial writers based in Norway. Although we don’t have exact numbers on Bitcoin adoption globally, we do know that the global average cryptocurrency adoption rate was estimated to be at about 12% in 2022 and that bitcoin currently has about half of the total market cap of the global cryptocurrency market.

Caitlin Long On Bitcoin’s Banking Future: ‘Policymakers Are Going To Get What They Fear’

coiner

If you’ve been in Bitcoin longer than a few minutes, then you’ve heard the phrase “be your own bank.” This, of course, is referring to the fact that Bitcoin is a peer-to-peer network, controlled by its users, not a central banking system. However, there is still space for banking in a Bitcoin world; though a variation from the system with which we are currently familiar. Caitlin Long has tirelessly fought for sound banking practices especially as it relates to the dangers of leverage in bitcoin. Her work has brought positive…

coiner

This is an opinion editorial by David Waugh, business development and communications specialist at bitcoin investing platform Coinbits, and Dave Birnbaum, the product director at Coinbits. Every generation has bones to pick with those who came before. However, Generation Z, those born between the late 1990s and early 2010s, have an especially valid complaint: Previous generations have stolen their future. Also called “the Zoomers,” this group was forced by lockdowns and school closures to socialize through webcams during their formative years. These 68 million Americans have had their lives disrupted…
